which was related at the Chautauqua
W'edn-sduy by opie Head, and which
made such a trofitnd impression up
on the uuuienco, 1m true iu every par
ticular, according to Dr. J. M. Blair
"A .Memphis physician, who was in
the city during the fever epidemic,"
lie said, "told me about .Mary, and I
made a special trip to another part of
the city to see the monument which
had been erected to her memory
This physician also said he saw Ma
ry's husband die in her arms." The
story, as told by Mr. Read, follows:
Mary conducted a house of shame
on the river front. Uivermen, gam
blers, and sports frequeuted her
place, which soon became notorious
all over Memphis, and adjacent river
towns, under the name of the "Cat s
Paw." One day the fever struck
Memphis. The wealthy flocked to
the mountains to await the falling of
frost, which always drove out' the
fever. The poor died by the hun
dreds, as many as five hundred dying
in a day. The city was quarantined,
armed guards being placed on the
outrklrts to prevent anyone from
entering or leaving the epidemic
stricken community. Nurses were at
a premium. Then it was that Mary,
to the surprise of the whole city, be
gan taking the stricken. Into her
house of ill fame, where she and her
fallen girls nursed them. All of the
available beds were tilled, but she
didn't close her house. Temporary
cots were erected, other patients were
placed on the floor.
One day a tramp, dying from the
fever, wax picked up on a nearby
street, and taken to Mary's home.

as well as absorbent cotton for the
wounds made by the explosives.
"When the seed is bereft of all
tufta or fibre, it Is sent through a pro
cess by which the hull is removed
from the meat. For a long time the
hulls were considered injurious to
live stock, but now when properly
used bulls ace considered good rough

of the meat from the hulls.
"The meat of the seed Is. then

small presses, each about 17 by 30
inches, and the oil Is expressed
through press cloth, made of human
hair. The press cloth Is about an
Inch in thickness and no other fabric
will stand the tremendous pressure
put upon it to get the oil out of the
seed. Camel's hair was used for press
cloth, but now the manufacturers are
buying the discarded queues of China
men. A few years ago It was Impos
sible to get more than 85 per cent of
the oil out of the cake. Now science
makes it possible to get all but 7 or
per cent.

ter he died In Mary's arms.
Shortly the frost fell, and the rich
people flocked back to the city. A
leading club woman, when she learn
ed of what Mary had done, forgot the
shame of her sisters, and solicited
contributions with which she bought
a silver service for Mary and the in
mates of her place for befriending hu
manity. A large delegation of the
most prominent citizens of Memphis
accompanied her to the "Cat's Paw"
to present the service, and as the
made a little talk, thanking them In
the name of the city for what they
had done, tear rolled down the
cheeks of Mary and her girls.
Afterwards a monument was erect
ed to Mary, and thereafter her place
was always referred to, not as the
"Cat's Paw," but as the House of
Humanity."
Winston Has Our population.
'Winston-Salem has Monroe's pop
ulation," declares Mr. Albert Red
fem. "Five of my cooks have gone
there In the past few years." he ad
ded. Numbers of Monroe's colored
imiiiilatlon have flocked to the Twin
City In recent months to work In the
tobacco factories, and during the war
many went to Hopewell, Va., to work
in the powder plant. Some of them,
of course, have drilled back, but the
most of them have remained away.

"The Good Fairy Thrift." the chil
dren's pageant was presented to a
large audience in the Chautauqua
tent Saturday afternoon and accord
ing to Mis Higgiiibothain was ren
ile red more smoothly and with more
pep than tt had been before in her
experienco. As the story goes, George
and Martha Washington failed to in
vite the Good Fairy Thrift to the
christening of Young America and
seeking revenge for the oversight
Thrift sent her sister "Wastefulness,"
which character was admirably por
trayed by Miss Katherlne Kyle Ked
fern. From that time on Wasteful
ness, despite the good wishes of the
dainty fairies present, accompanied
by extravagance follows the career of
the young country up to modern
times when we are known as the
most extravagant country on the
globe.
At thia juncture Father and Mother
Spend and their children. May Spend
and W ill Spend, come upon the scene.
These parts were well played by John
Lee Austin, Annie Louise Caldwell
.Margaret Lee and Nick Laney, res
pectively. The children clamor for1
a dime to buy worthless toys while
Father and Mother Spend depart for
an evening at the movies. Seeing the
broken toys purchased by Will and
May,- Miss Virginia Cole Biakeney, as
Savings Bank, conies forward with
the statement that she is so empty
she has to speak and tell them the
story of Americas christening and
calls out the children of other lands
o tell how they save their pennies.
The Dutch and Japanese boys and
girls in appropriate costumes answer
this call and so enthused are Will and
May that they decide to follow the
example of the little foreigners.
Good Fairy Thrift hearing of this
relents and appears to congratulate
the American children, who, led by
I'ncle Sam, march around Savings
Rank and sing "Save up your Pennies
for a Rainy Day." Thrift was played
by Frances Shute, the charming little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Shute.
.Miss Higglnbotham deserves praise
for the way in which the children con
ducted themselves, considering . the
short time In which she had to work,
her efforts succeeded to a remarkable
degree. Mrs. John Beasley was the
acenmpanyist.
"Nothing But the Truth," the rol
licking, mirth - producing comedy
probably was enjoyed more than any
other feature of the program as
was a laugh from the start to finish
the trials of the young hero who at
tempted to tell nothing but the truth
for twenty-four hours, furnishing the
chief cause for mirth. Daddy Gro-
becker's Swiss Y'odlers interested
Monroe people In their strict portray-
al of Swiss Meuntaln life, costumes

The t'liuln Is Now CotitrMNMNl of Thirty
Stores In North uml South Caro
lina.
(From the Lenoir News-Topic.)
Tuesday evening Messrs. E. L. Efird
and R. C. Teas ue closed a deal with
Mr. H. T. Newland, owner of the New
land department store, for the pur
chase of the store building, complete
stock of goods and the block of real
estate fronting West Trade street.
The transaction Is said to Involve
something like $150(000. However,
both Mr. Newland and Mr. Etlrd re
fuse to make a statement In thia con
nection. The sale Included everything,
store, stock and real estate, with the
exception of the accounts, which are
still due and payable to Mr. Newland.
It had been known for several days
that the Efird organltatlon was seek
ing an opening here, but it was ex
pected they would buy some unim
proved property and make improve
ments. The announcement of the
purchase of the Newland store came
as a complete surprise. It has been
learned, however, that the sale had
been brewing for thirty days or more,
Instrumental in the sale has been the
work of Mr. H. M. Teague of this
city, who is a brother of Mr. R. C.
Teague of the Efird organization. Mr.
Teague has been working quietly for
several weeks In an effort to get a lo
cation for the store.
Lenoir makes the thirtieth store of
the Efird chain, said Mr. E. L. Efird
yesterday. The other stores are lo
cated principally In North Carolina
with a few in South Carolina and one
In Danville, Va. The stores located In

However when our beloved District
Secretary, Mrs. L. N. Presson, gave
her report of the work accomplished

for shame over anything, but rather
a hearty rejoicing over what had been
dune, which Inspired each delegate
with a determination to make tne
next report even better.
The conference was a glorious suc

each district were so good as to al
most draw forth the shouting ele

work which was an Inspiration to

in the rear of the plant, which is
located near the cotton platform, is
tne receiving room, where milk and
cream is tested, weighed and receipt
ed for. Once this is done, the milk
is poured Into a pasteurizer, where
heat, maintained at 145 degrees above
zero for thirty minutes, kills all bac
teria. This machine cost $550.
From the pasteurizer the milk goes
to a homogenizer, which breaks ui
an or the particles in the cream, giv-
ng it a light, velvety appearance. The
homogenizer. which cost $1200. is a
marvelous. Intricate machine.
After the cream has been homo
genized, it goes through a pipe to the
freezer, where It Is qr.lckly reduced
from its great heat to a freezing

flavors the plant will make are the
